Lie by omission

Due to the hurricane a month ago, the pool was closed, had been closed for weeks, but was advertised as a feature of the property. I was never told the pool was closed until I checked in the front desk said they told VRBO that the pool was closed to please tell the renters but no one told me. I would not have rented had I known the pool was closed. As a matter of fact, it was the reason I rented here beware!

Problems and Deception

We had the power go off but there was no reason other than an unpaid power bill. It was turned back on hours later. Also the listing shows a queen bed in the second room. Don’t be fooled, there are 2 twin beds. I would not rent this again and would not recommend it to others.

Queen of Diamonds

The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s an amazingly beautiful property and we were amazed at all the amenities that it offered. The pool was by far my favorite place to spend time. My teenage sons loved hanging in the game room and working out in the gym. I spent an amazing 2 hours in the spa and our condo was everything it said it would be. We will definitely be returning to Diamond Beach

excellent condo with great view

This condo was fabulous, everything was clean, it had all we needed. The view is excellent and the pelicans flying by the balcony daily was awesome. We were bummed that the outdoor pool and lazy river were not heated, I just assumed they were. We would definitely recommend this to anyone and look forward to going back one day.

This property was very clean with very comfortable furniture and beds. We enjoyed watching the pelicans, rocking on the balcony and watching beautiful sunrises and sunsets with a rising moon. This is our second stay here.

My only complaint is the beach because the listing appears like it’s beach front but it’s all rocks and you can’t swim there.

Pelican heaven

This lovely condo is situated where you have a pelican show everyday. They get really close and fun to watch. Ocean view is great and the condo is very clean and comfortable. The master does have a hard mattress on the bed. We had a wonderful experience.
